Quote by Cesare Beccaria
"In a state of nature, all men are equal; equality is preserved through laws and justice."
"In a state of nature, all men are equal; equality is preserved through laws and justice."
"It is better to prevent crimes than to punish them."
"The purpose of punishment is not to torment a sensible being, nor to undo a crime already committed."
"Certainty of punishment, even if mild, is more effective than severity."
"Laws are the conditions under which men, naturally independent, unite to form society."
